There are cities in Massachusetts that will take everything you earn and hand you back a studio apartment and a vague sense of financial anxiety, and then there’s Gardner. Gardner, Massachusetts is the city that quietly decided affordability and quality of life weren’t mutually exclusive, and it has been proving that point for years while the rest of the state wasn’t watching.

At old O'Connor's, a menu of legal troubles and $82K in owed taxes | Exclusive

(Correction: an earlier version of this story incorrectly stated the status of the building.) WORCESTER – A mortgage lender is suing the owners of the now-shuttered O'Connor's Restaurant & Bar, alleging, among other complaints, that they owe thousands in taxes to the city and are not doing enough to attract a buyer. The lawsuit is one of two being litigated against Kyle and Dennis Maxwell, the operators of Carlow Clove Inc., which owns the closed eatery at 1160 West Boylston St. The father and son duo took over O'Connor's in 2022 from Brendan and Claire O'Connor, who had operated the restaurant for more than 30 years . The noted restaurant shut down unexpectedly in March , a week before St. Patrick's Day, due to a damage from a burst pipe, the Maxwells said on social media. Since then, the once-bustling building has sat empty while rumors have swirled about who might purchase the parcel. During a recent reporter visit, the restaurant appeared frozen in time, complete with signage advertising the week's specials. Only a portion of the black wooden sign that reads O'Connor's was out of place, having fallen and now resting against the entryway. "I've heard all sorts of

This Massachusetts Town Shows Why Affordable Retirement Isn’t Completely Out Of Reach

There is something I like about a Massachusetts town that has been making precision tools since 1880 and still proudly answers to the nickname Tool Town. It feels wonderfully stubborn in the best way. That same practical streak seems to carry into everyday life here. While much of Massachusetts can...

Village at Manville Could Push Lincoln’s Affordable Share Near 9%

Lincoln is still short of Rhode Island’s 10 percent low- and moderate-income housing goal, but not by the margin it once was. The 2026 Housing Fact Book puts that housing at 8.35 percent of the town’s year-round homes and says Lincoln needs 157 more qualifying homes to reach the benchmark.

Voters approve housing bond measures but reject easing lot-size and environmental rules

Voters in California, Hawaii and Rhode Island gave the go-ahead last week for bond measures aimed at boosting the housing supply and homeownership. But a California measure to cut back on the state’s decades-old environmental law to spur housing development and a Massachusetts proposal to loosen minimum lot-size rules both failed.

Coventry Permit Reviews Don't Flag Land Under Conservation Easements

Coventry pays landowners for conservation easements that bar development, but a participant at the Land Trust's Monday meeting said they would not check a house application for an easement, though a subdivision application on protected land would raise flags. A house could be applied for and built before anyone noticed, the participant said. Members asked that easement properties be flagged in permitting records. One member doubted the volunteer board can inspect every easement property each year. No vote was taken.

Cranston Planners Oppose Grant Avenue Homes, Split on Rockwood Avenue

Owners seeking to build on undersized lots on Grant Avenue head to the Zoning Board of Review with negative Plan Commission recommendations, and a positive recommendation failed on one Rockwood Avenue request. Planning staff had recommended approval, arguing older neighborhoods like Thornton were built on 4,000-square-foot lots. Commissioners said the projects would exceed density on the city's future land use map. A positive recommendation on one Rockwood request failed two to three, and negative recommendations on both Grant Avenue requests passed by voice vote. The Zoning Board makes the final decision.
